2x06: The Shadows in Nightfall
Riley was dressed in only a pair of orange and navy plaid pattern sweats; his chest exposed showing all his old scars. Old whip marks on his back, slashes on his chest one over his heart; many times he had been hit by arkcupid arrows just for the hell of it, and other scars that looked as if he had been set on fire. King Ryan had a sense of humor when he was torturing someone. Riley was walking around his childhood home, not tired one bit, even though it was four in the morning and he just got off his shift at the firehouse. He was looking at the pictures, seeing how his family had moved on without him. He closed his eyes and thought back to a memory that seemed so long ago and felt so real it was as if he could hear his brother's voice in his ears.
*Memory*
Riley was sitting on the couch tracing something with his hand, when in hearted Ryan. He seemed not to notice Riley at all. Riley didn't make his presence known he just looked down at the picture in his hand. He was broken up with Dara right now so he was in a slump; they had gotten into another never ending argument over something stupid but neither wanted to swallow their pride and apologize.
Ryan: "What are you looking at, Coop?"
Riley: "Nothing, Ryan, I'm just…" He looked up to see his older brother looked almost worried about something, "What's wrong?"
Ryan: "You wouldn't believe me if I told you, little brother."
Riley: "Try me."
Ryan: He ran his hand over his face, "Rough day to be a college student is all I have to say, baby brother."
Riley: "Rough day to be in love, Ry."
Ryan: Chuckled, "Come on, PJ, it can't be that bad."
Riley: rolled his eyes at his brother, he had nicked named him PJ because his love life was just like their mother's, and Parker was CJ because at times she'd be the spitting image of Coop, acted like him too. "Dara broke up with me."
Ryan: "She always breaks up with you Coop, get over it and go talk to her, say the magical words."
Riley: "I'm not wrong this time, Ry." He stood up and turned to look around the room, he placed the picture down, next to one of him and Ryan both covered in slime, Lex and Hank on the other side of them drenched in demon guts laughing their asses off.
Ryan: "Do you care for her, Coop?"
Riley: turned to look at him, "You know I do!"
Ryan: "Do you love her?"
Riley: Sent him a look that said, he damn well knew he did, "Yes, Victor, I love her so much it hurts to think about never having her in my arms ever again."
Ryan: Laughed, "Then get out of this house and march up her stairs pound on her door and remind her of that. Remind her, little brother, that whatever happens, whatever the problem may be you'll always be there for her, and you will love her and protect her no matter who the threat is and whatever she does."
Riley: Smiled, "I think I will!" He went to leave but turned to his brother, "Thanks, man. I don't know what I'd do without you."
Ryan: "And thank the Elders, little brother, you'll never find out."
He smiled as he watched his brother walk to get back his soul mate.
*End*
A week later Ryan killed their mother aunts and Uncle Leo, and two months after that he ended Hazel's life. Riley had learned the hard way not to cross his brother. He lost not only his other half but himself in the process. A noise brought Riley out of his daze and he frowned slightly when he saw his older brother and oldest sister heart into the room with their cousin who was bleeding badly, seconds later a demon shimmered in after them. The demon sent fireballs at Ryan who tried to dodge it but it collided with his gut and sent him crashing to the ground, another demon shimmered in and took aim at Ryan when Riley sent a fireball at the demon that screamed when he caught fire. More demons filled the room.
Main Demon: Glaring at Riley, "Your end is now, demon."
Riley: Shook his head, because the demon looked somewhat familiar, as he took a closer look he noticed that he once knew his other self, "Jacob, you have no right to be here!"
Smaller Demon: Turned to his boss, "How did he know your name?"
Jacob: "I don't know."
Silver: Sent a bolt at the smaller demon, "Telepathy hello!"
Ryan: Trying to shake off the pain, "Don't let them get away."
Riley: formed an energy ball and aimed it at the demon but stopped because he lost control of his actions, "No."
Jacob: Shivered in fear, a second ago standing in his way was a weak tiny man but now a monster took his place, "Belthazor…" Gaining his voice back, "You have returned to us."
Silver: Paled and got closer to protect an injured Emma, "Wow."
Ryan: "Bastard, I knew you were evil."
Belthazor Jr: Ignored her and Ryan, walked closer to the weaker demon, "So small, weak, and powerless."
Jacob: "No I have power, I can help you get back your powers, I swear let me be your second."
Belthazor Jr: he was now inches from the demon, "Weakness is not what I want in my army little man." He forced his hand inside the demon, whose eyes turned shocked; he looked into Belthazor's black cold hard eyes and saw his end, "Now you cease to be." He pulled out the demon's heart stepping back just in time for the demon to burst into flames. He turned back to see Ryan holding an athame ready to end him, "Weak powerless mortal put your weapons aside, they have no meaning here, or against me."
Ryan: "I'd rather not, you freak!"
Belthazor Jr: "What is the meaning of this, cupid?"
Silver: "Ryan, that's still our brother in there."
Ryan: "This monster is not my brother!"
Belthazor Jr: Shook his head in disgust, "Why the boy yearns for your approval I shall never understand. You, who thinks of him as nothing. Yet he wishes to be more than your counterpart, more than just your enemy if," He paused and smirked, "No, when the time comes."
Coop: Hit the lights, "What's going on here?" He rushed over to Silver who was holding Emma, "What happened?"
Silver: "Underworld, demons and Vampires nothing to worry about."
Coop: "Parker moves out, but then I have to go and start worrying about you and your band of crazies?"
Silver: "Ryan's idea."
Coop: Sighed, "Henry, get over here and try not to wake your wife, your daughter is hurt and needs your healing hands."
Seconds later both Henry and Paige orbed in, Pierce was crying his head off.
Paige: "Emma!"
Henry: "I tried but Mitch was awake so we both were up already," He turned to see his daughter then rushed to her his oldest daughter, "Prue, have you lost your mind?"
Phoebe: "Ryan, lower that weapon."
Ryan: "Can't mom there's a monster in my childhood home."
Belthazor Jr: Crossed his arms over his chest causing the bloody heart to touch his chest, "Then do leave, boy."
Ryan: Sneering, "I was talking about you, you monster!"
Belthazor Jr: "Takes one to know one, Ryan."
Phoebe: "Belthazor, enough."
Silver: "Mom, you knew about this?"
Phoebe: "I've always known, Piper, he trusted me enough to show me his powers." She went to walk over to him.
Paige: Looked to see that Belthazor was in control, "Oh brother."
Ryan: "Mom, no!"
Coop: "Victor, zip it."
Henry: "Come on, Em, heal for daddy." He smiled once the healing was done. "You okay, Emmy?"
Emma: "Yea, dad, I just feel weak."
Paige: "I bet you do, young lady. You lost a lot of blood on your Aunt Phoebe's couch."
Emma: Taking a page out of her baby sister's book, "You should see the other guy mom."
Paige: "Prudence, do not try to joke, this is not funny."
Emma: "NP, tell mommy that you don't like it when she yells."
Paige: "Don't use your brother like that, and he loves it when I yell, see he's stopped crying."
But Pierce was not crying anymore because all his attention was now on Belthazor Jr, his eyes wide in wonder, wondering who this demon was standing in front of him, looking so evil yet his soul so kind.
Ryan: did not look happy. "Why didn't you warn me about him?"
Phoebe: "Belthazor Jr, give Riley back control I don't know what you were trying to prove but it's over the demons are gone."
Ryan: "Not all of them."
Belthazor Jr: "I agree, leave, Victor."
Ryan: "Make me, freak!"
Belthazor Jr: Formed a fireball, "Hold still and I will!"
Phoebe: "BOYS!"
Belthazor Jr: to Ryan, "Go ahead, push him away, make it easy for him to turn, sweeter the victory shall be."
Suddenly he reverted into Riley, he looked around lost, Phoebe's eyes widened as she saw his body was riddled with scars, Ryan even seemed to flinch at how badly scarred Riley was. Riley went to put out the fireball by shaking his hand to stop the flames.
Riley: Trying to find a reason for him to be awake, "I-I…" his eyes wide when he saw the heart in his hand, "Who's…"
Ryan: "Mor..."
Coop: Knowing the word his son was about to say, and was kinda ashamed, "Ryan, enough."
Silver: "It's a demon's, Cole."
Riley: "Why did he?" He sighed knowing they had no clue why his demon half would tear out the heart. "Never mind," He looked down at the heart that in seconds orbed out of his hands he looked up grateful. "Thanks."
Paige: "Don't mention it."
Suddenly Pierce shimmered out of Paige's arms and into Riley's, who held up his arms just in time to catch the little guy. Pierce pulled Riley's hair playfully.
Riley: "Hey, Mitch, knock it off, that's my hair you know." He smiled kindly at the boy who pulled the hair harder.
Henry: "Looks like he likes you."
Ryan: "Figures."
Riley: "Ryan, I'm giving you fair warning, I just got control back from a crazy mad man, do not piss me off or I will…"
Ryan: "That a threat?"
Riley: "Yes, you ever talk about Hank's Mitch like that again I will personally kick your ass. Call me whatever the hell you want but Mitch isn't in this war that you started for no fucking reason. So leave him out of it!" He turned back to his Aunt Paige, "Sorry about cursing in front of him, my temper got the best of me," He turned to Pierce, "Time to go with your mommy, Mitch."
He handed Pierce to Paige and just walked away. He had nothing else to say and besides his hand was covered in blood, he needed to wash it quickly.
Silver: "Do you always have to be a jackass?"
Ryan went to answer when his father cut him off.
Coop: "Let's just all go to bed, okay, it's late and we're all tired."
Ryan hearted out. Silver shook her head and walked to her room.
Paige: "Honey, can you walk or do you need dad to orb you?"
Emma: "It's, okay mom I can walk." She smiled at Pierce, "Pierce, you are getting big!"
Henry: "That's what happens when you don't come around more often!"
Paige: "Good night and thanks for calling us."
Phoebe: "Anytime, Paige." She turned to look at her husband who had his eyes closed and was trying to be calm, "Coop."
Coop: "I swear to god, Phoebe, that boy is going to make me pick up smoking again."
Phoebe: "After all the crap you give Parker? I don't think so."
Coop: "I don't know what to do with him, Pheebs, he's getting out of control."
Phoebe: "Well he does get that from me. I can be hardheaded too."
Coop: "Poor Riley. He's not to blame for Ryan being so cruel. And I know we didn't raise that boy that way, I raised him to know right from wrong and cruel from fair. I can't believe what he was about to tell Riley."
Phoebe: "I know but what can we do? I've tried talking to him, you tried, Hank's tried, hell Grace has tried it's like talking to a wall." She shook her head, "Reminds me of how Valentine was half of the time." She sigh, "It's a good thing Paige isn't as bad as Valentine was."
Coop: Nodded and sighed, "I'm going to find a way to fix this, whatever this is, I don't even know how it broke, I just know it's broken and Ryan isn't acting like himself." Knowing he was going to regret saying it, "He's acting like King Ryan."
Phoebe: "Coop,"
Coop: "I know, how harsh it may sound, but I feel like I'm losing him and I just don't understand why. But trust me it's okay, I'm going to fix this."
Phoebe: "I know that look, our youngest always gets that look; it has caused me problems!" Coop smiled and kissed his wife, then leads her back to bed. "You just did that to shut me up."
Coop: "If you start talking about Paige you're going to start crying again."
Phoebe: Tears in her eyes, "I miss her so much, Coop."
Coop: "Phoebe, she's not dead, she's just five to ten miles away, or even a heart." Saw what his wife needed and hearted them to the kid's apartment, "See she's fine."
Parker was lying next to Damian both sleeping with huge smiles on their faces.
Phoebe: "Okay, let's go before she wakes up and kills us."
They hearted out.
Parker opened her eyes and gently got up before she woke Damian. She walked over to the window, and looked out to the sky. She held herself, and gently let the tears over take her.
Valentine: "Hey, I'm sorry you had to see that… again."
Parker: "It's okay you can't stop me from seeing their deaths, over and over again."
Valentine: "But you haven't been sleeping well."
Parker: "There's a lot to worry about."
Damian: Sat up and turned to face his wife, the cover falling letting his chest show, "You talking to Val again?"
Parker: She turned to him, "You know it."
Damian: "I'm here you know."
Parker: Walked back to him, "And thank god everyday, for that."
Damian: He smiled, "You can talk to me."
Parker: "I know." She ran her hand through his hair, "But right now I just want to work through this on my own."
Damian: "But you're not alone anymore."
Parker: "I've never have been, and I know that, but some battles."
Damian: Shook his head, "You want to fight alone."
Parker: "You know it,"
Damian: Smiled, "But when you're ready and all your plans."
Parker: "Are done? Oh yeah, I'll be running to get your help."
He smiled and planted a kiss on her lips, she throw her arms over him as they started to make out.
-Next Scene-
Robin walked out of her room and closed the door to her bedroom quietly she zipped up her jacket and walked past the demons who were standing there keeping watch. She kept walking and ignored those that bowed their heads in her direction she stopped when she was in an abandoned cave and made sure the coast was clear and then she orbed out. Landing in a dimly lit alley she walked out into the cold morning, she looked around and saw the Halloween decorations and shook her head, she could remember when she well rather Mel dressed up as a little witch, she had only put on a hat and held a fake book of shadows and demanded to be taken to get candy by her older brothers, of course they did it, they'd do anything to please her. She had gotten so much candy that it lasted her a long while. Robin frowned that was her life, remembering things through the eyes of her sister.
Voice: "You should really watch where you go at hours like this."
Robin: Stopped walking and turned slowly to see Vincent standing behind her, she rolled her eyes, "I'm not your charge, Vincent."
Vincent: He was dressed in a dark brown leather jacket and a pajama shirt and pants, his hair was all over the place, he looked as if he had just gotten out of bed, "No, but you're the sister of the woman I love."
Robin: "So that gives you permission to stalk me?"
Vincent: "Robin." He walked closer to her, "I need to know if everything is going as planned."
Robin: "What you really mean is I want to know what the plan is."
Vincent: "Mel told me that Roderick thinks she and Riley are your moles, that's important isn't it?"
Robin: "Maybe I just wanted to give those two protection, Coop shouldn't have to be put through hell every time he goes into the Underworld he should be feared, he is a powerful demon. And Mel was just around so I had no choice."
Vincent: "What you really mean is you felt protective and chose to protect Mel from your demons and Riley as well."
Robin: "Whatever you want to take it as it's done that's all that matters!"
Vincent: "Robin, I know this is hard for you…"
Robin: "Not really, you can't begin to know how hard this has been for me, I wasn't supposed to be able to feel other's pain and now I can. I was meant to destroy my family but now I can't because this annoying voice in my head says no you can't do that, you'd miss them. I don't even know them!"
Vincent: "You know enough! Wyatt and Chris will bend over backwards if you wished it, Mel would die for you, Riley knows what you're going through he went through it with Ryan, Pacey and Parker want more people in their band of lunatics. Nix will yell at you but then will turn around and defend you, Hank will get drunk with you and listen to you tell your tales of the Underworld, B will show you how to defend yourself in hand to hand combat, Linn will cook you soup if you need it, Bella and Emily will remind you why you love the fact you got Mel as a sister and not them. They all will take you in, in different ways they're just waiting for you."
Robin: "You don't think I know that? I know they'll take me in, because that's the type of people they are, but I have to set things right. I have to kill Roderick, help stop the Seer, I know that's not my fight, but Roderick is, but I can't go and kill him just yet, no matter how much he disgusts me."
Vincent: "I know I just wanted to remind you what you're fighting for."
Robin: "I saw what I was fighting for in the form of my two children Vincent I will end this and end it correctly." He just nodded his head and went to orb. "So…" He looked back at her, "When?"
Vincent: "I don't…"
Robin: "Empath remember?"
Vincent: "She might say no, hell the cousins asked her to move in and she said no, do you know how it feels to live at the manor?"
Robin: "No."
Vincent: "Just keep it a secret." Again going to leave.
Robin: Nods her head, "Vince." He turned to look at her, "I know my sister, she didn't want to move because she's worried about me, and she thinks if she moves I will take it as 'her leaving me behind'. For some reason she thinks I'm needy." He laughed, fighting with himself from telling her that she was needy, "But to you, I think she will say yes."
Vincent: "It's a big step."
Robin: "Just talk it over with Leo before you do anything, and maybe Wyatt too."
He nodded his head he was going to do this right. He loved Mel with all his heart, they had been through so much, it only made sense that they'd take this next step, hell they had lived together before, she had lost him to death and he had lost her to life, wasn't it time they stopped acting like morons and do this right?
Robin: Watched him orb out and she shook her head, "Mel just say you lost him once, best not do it a second time."
-Next Scene-
Hank smiled as he watched Emily take in some air, she looked so peaceful lying there asleep, her chest rose in a rhythmic beat. He couldn't believe that he had wasted so much of their time by ignoring how he really felt about her. So many times had his heart been broken and just by telling her how he really felt could have prevented all of them.
Emily: Opened her eyes and sent him a smile, "Henry, you know it's kinda creepy when you look at me while I sleep."
Hank: "So, you get to watch me sleep, but I can't watch you do the same?"
Emily: "Sounds about right." He bent down and placed a kiss onto her lips, her hand went to his neck, "That's all you ever want to do nowadays."
Hank: "Woman, you never complain whenever you wake me up for some lovin."
Emily: "And you try and pretend not to be as bad as Nix."
Hank: "I've never slept with someone at Pipes."
Emily: "No just at your office."
Hank: "We're lucky no one caught us."
Emily: She ran her fingers through his hair, "How did I get so lucky?"
Hank: "You have that all wrong, Miss Maker, I'm the lucky one, I get to love you, and show you my love everyday." With each word he placed kisses on her neck. "I love you and I can't remember when I've ever been this happy."
Emily: Reached up and kissed him now, "Henry, never change,"
Hank: Smiling his voice fucking sexy, "I never plan to."
-x-x-x-
To get up and walk away would be too easy. So stay and stand your ground, just watch your mouth with me. On the back of every right, there's a wrong looming. Have you ever tried to step in my shoes? Have you ever tried to balance that beam? And if you ever tried to fit in my shoes, they'll never be quite as soft as they seemed.

Ext. San Francisco, various shots of the city. Underlined by the song: 'Wait' by M83.
Ryan tapped his razor and tried to shave his right side of his face but he stopped when he noticed his hand was shaking. He turned to look into the mirror and saw only himself staring back at him, his eyes were pained and his face looked worn to the bone. He closed his eyes and tried with his all his might to think of happier times. His eyes opened wide when a hand gripped his shoulder, he turned and found his dad standing there looking back at him with concern in his eyes.
Ryan: "Dad, what are you doing here?"
Coop: "Ryan, I came to speak with you." He looked around his son's tiny bath room and shook his head because he saw the pink that his oldest daughter seemed to sneak in, "Silver's I presume?"
Ryan: Chuckled, "You know Piper, dad, she does what she wants, nothing any of us can do about it."
Coop: Crossed his arms over his chest, "Yea, that does sound familiar to my ears." He smiled, "Reminds me of my son."
Ryan: "I'm not that bad, I listen," Seeing his father's face, "Sometimes."
Coop: "Sure, Victor, and your mother, isn't trying to rush you and Grace into having kids like now."
Ryan: "Right," He wiped the shaving cream off his face and wet his face with a warm towel, "So what brings you to Casa Nova York?"
Coop: "Come on; let's talk out of the restroom."
Ryan: nodded and followed his father out into his living room, "Just say it, dad."
Coop: "I'm afraid if I do just that you'll shut down on me, you are well known for doing things of that nature." Ryan merely blinked back at him and Coop sighed, "Well, there's no easy way to say this, I want you to try and speak to Riley nicer."
Ryan: Groaned, "No can do, dad, he's a demon and you, mom, Silver, and Parker are just acting as if he wasn't but he is, I'm sorry I'm the only one that can see through his…"
Coop: "Victor, he's not doing anything, he's been kind and he really wants to get to know his…"
Ryan: "I'm not his brother…"
Coop: "Why don't you just give him a second, you might…"
Ryan: "But that's the problem, dad, if I like him, then what's stopping me from liking the Source of all evil."
Coop: Sighed, "Well she is your cousin." Ryan sent him a confused look, "Nothing, look I can understand your reasons but just plainly being rude to him doesn't exactly mean you're dealing with the situation, look, Ryan, I can get how you don't want to put down that wall, that you have up you never liked Gabriel."
Ryan: Cutting him off, "With good reason he got Park into so much shit it's not even funny."
Coop: "No, Paige got herself into that shit. What I'm trying to say is Riley isn't just a demon, he's human. Ryan, he's an Empath and emotions hurt the hell out of him, now you as a cupid have to understand one simple thing," Ryan crossed his arms over his chest, "All he's ever wanted was a family, now that he's got the chance, all he wants is a second of your time, just get to know him for him, and not for what the book says."
-Next Scene-
The kids were all sitting around their apartment, Chris and Linn were talking and eating toast on the counter, while Damian was looking for something to eat in the fridge, Parker and Lex were watching Nix cook, both were playing air hockey. Pacey and Bella were on the sofa reading the newspaper in each other's arms.
Nix: "Damian, pass me the bacon!"
Damian: "Right, that's what I was looking for."
Nix: Laughed, "What would you do if I didn't live here?"
Damian: "Order pizza."
Nix: Sent him a sideways glance, "For breakfast?"
Hazel: Walked into the room with the mail, "You forget, Nix, but my brother's don't know how to cook for shit."
Damian: "I can cook it's you and Derek that don't know how."
Lex: "Not true I learned how to cook when I was off being a jackass."
Parker: "Nice save."
Lex: "Park, you know your cousin if I mention the words 'on my own', she goes red in the face and her eyes turn into lasers and then I get burned."
Nix: Using the spatula to point at him, "No one told you to leave."
Lex was going to say something but was cut off.
Emily: "You two cannot have this argument anymore,"
Hank: "Em's right, how can you fight about something that caused you both pain? Best to move past it and fall back into bed."
Chris: Shook his head at his younger cousin, his hair was a mess and so was Emily's, "If any of our mothers walked in, Hank, you'd be killed on the spot."
Hank: "I don't live at home so I don't have to pretend that I don't have sex."
Nix: "I think I lost my appetite."
Damian: "That's fine more for us."
Nix: "Parker, I will kill your husband!"
Parker: "Then I will have to kill your boyfriend to avenge my husband's death."
Linn: "Children, enough, no more yelling momma's got a headache, from hearing you bitch all the time."
David: He looked like crap, he was hung over to the max. "No, you have a headache from drinking too much,"
Linn: "Well, William, if you and Chris wouldn't have dared me to drink, I wouldn't be in pain right now."
Pacey: "And they say I'm childish."
Parker: "Pacey, you are childish. David, shut up before Linn kills you, and Linn, you don't have to live here no one is forcing you."
Linn: "Park, you may not know this but no way in hell am I living back at home, Bianca only mopes and Frankie is always trying to get into trouble and my dad acts like a five year old and whenever I'm home for some reason I become my mother's slave."
Chris: Laughed, "It could be worse, you might have to watch your little sister and her boyfriend feed each other and have to put up with Wyatt watching cartoons all the damn time, you tell him he's too old for it and he looks at you cross eyed!"
Pacey: "Not to mention a certain cousin of ours likes to get drunk before breakfast time."
Parker: "Andrew, don't make fun of my brother, he's got a lot of crap on his plate."
Hazel: "Park, he was talking about you."
Parker: "I do not get drunk before breakfast I get drunk after breakfast."
Damian: "Is it too late to back out of living with you crazy as hell people?"
Hazel: "You, Lex, and I have always lived with each other. Nix was always at our place because of Lex, as was Hank that meant Emily was there too, Parker practically ate at our table and stole my breakfast more than I could count! Chris and Linn may be as well part of that group the only two that were hardly there were Pacey and Bella."
Pacey: "I spend most of my time there a year ago."
Bella: "Before I came back right?"
Pacey: "And a little during because of the whole man with no name incident."
Parker: "Speaking about Biff, the spell that you used."
Bella: "To create the perfect man?"
Parker: "Yes, you found it in the book right?"
Bella: "Yea."
Pacey: Sent his twitch from another mother a look, "Paige, what is running in that head of yours?"
Parker: "Nothing, Andrew, I'm just thinking about something I've been working on."
Damian: "Do we even want to know?" He loved Parker with all of his heart but sometimes it was best to be clueless when it came to some of her crazy ideas.
Parker: "No, besides it has nothing to do with any of you."
Chris: "Is this some sort of way to help Wyatt get B back together?"
Parker: "No, but now that you mention it consider them as good as together."
Linn: "Parker, what did you do?"
Parker: "Me? Nothing, I may or may not have given someone ideas of what he could do and I may or may not have had a cupid in training help me with a certain thing." She shot Lex a look.
Nix: "Lex, what have I told you about getting yourself mixed into Parker's messes?"
Lex: "That you can't protect me if Wyatt goes ape shit crazy."
Nix: "That goes with B too, Lexton!"
Lex: "Well, it's a good thing she didn't kill me."
Parker: Chuckled, "Why do you people always yell at my helpers?"
Linn: "Because your helpers always end up messing us over."
Emily: "Are you still mad about the damn restaurant?"
Linn: "Yes, Emily, I am you left me and Chris alone to clean up all those dishes."
Hank: "Yes, but it helped you two be less blind!"
Mel: Boomed into the room and shook her head having heard the last of Hank's statement, "Why are you guys always talking about the stupid dishes?"
Chris: "They would not be stupid if you had to wash them."
Hank: "Mel, what you doing here?"
Mel: "What, can't I come around for fun?"
Parker: "Yes, but you have the, 'I don't want to tell you what happened because someone is going to lose it,' look,"
Pacey: Having just read her mind, "My money is on Hank."
Mel: Rolled her eyes at her cousin, "The New York cousins of mine were hunting a demon yesterday and one of them may or may not have almost gotten killed."
Nix: "Please be Ryan, please be Ryan."
Hank: "Which one, Mel?"
Mel: Knowing her cousin was about to lose it, "Emma."
Before they knew it Hank had already orbed out.
Nix: "Well, it was good knowing my twin while it lasted."
They all shook their heads, just because Hank didn't show his over protectiveness like Wyatt didn't mean he wasn't over protective, it meant he was worse because it was better to see yelling coming than not know your brother was going to rip you a new one for getting hurt. Which Hank was going to do right now to Emma.
Damian: "Does that mean breakfast has been canceled?"
Chris: "That means if we don't get our Hanky, Damian you might have to arrest someone for murder."
Suddenly in shimmered a woman who had blonde hair like Frank and deep green eyes. Linn shook her head as she saw the woman smile the same smile her father did whenever he was up to something.
Linn: "Aunt Aine, what the hell are you doing here?"
Aine: "Funny, Linn, you don't even like me much."
Chris: "Aine, it's good to see you, it's just we have to go, Hank's going to kill Emma."
Aine: "Then let's go, I have to talk to you about a demon anyway."
Linn shook her head, whenever her father's only sister was in town that meant something bad was going to happen, most likely they'd all be getting yelled at for doing something ridiculous.
Linn: "Yay, we're all going."
Parker: Laughed and turned to Linn, "Don't worry, Linn, she won't do anything crazy."
Linn: "Do you remember what Hunter you're talking about?"
Parker: "On second thought let's all pray for ourselves, we're getting into deep shit."
Pacey: "Paige, you've turned soft with marriage."
Parker: Dried fake tears, "I know."
Damian laughed at his wife; Parker going soft, that was never going to happen.
-New Scene-
Riley was staring at the book of shadows. Wondering many things but all he wanted to do was slam it shut and take it to Emma, which, was what he was supposed to be doing but he couldn't stop himself, he tried to get close to the book but it just merely jumped away from him, as if he was a disease.
Riley: "Come on I've never harmed anyone in front of you." He paused, "Well, not in this reality." He ran his hand through his hair and glared at the book, he turned when he felt a presence in the air and that's when he noticed his reflection in the mirror, it was of course Belthazor Jr, "Great what do you want?"
Belthazor Jr: "So many things, Coop, none of them you can give me. Why do you still try to attain that book? Our father tried he failed."
Riley: "First off, Cole is your father."
Belthazor Jr: "Please do go on speak as if you weren't a demon."
Riley: "I'm not you are!"
Belthazor Jr: "Whatever, it does not matter anyway."
Riley: "What are you planning you love to beat me up with words, hell its part of the day I've learned to suck up."
Belthazor Jr: "Oh I love you too, Coop, but no I am not trying anything."
Riley: Looked down at his hand and noticed a fire start to built, "Enough."
Belthazor Jr: Looking at his nails, "I'm not doing anything boy."
Riley: He took out his cupid ring and placed it onto his finger, "Enough!" And Belthazor Jr disappeared all Riley saw was his reflection, worn out angry and demonic, he sighed as he walked over to the book, and this time it let him open it up. "That's better." Suddenly it opened up to a page and he looked down to it confused when it turned to an empty page but then was amazed when writing began to fill the page. "What the hell?"
The pages stopped turning and his eyes were wide.
Unburdening Spell: "To unburden oneself from a curse, one shall be weightless of the burden, think of nothing but freeing thoughts and then recite: 'take away my curse, aid me in relaxation, destroy my burden erase my curse.' And then one shall be free.
Riley: Touched the words to the spell, "Unburdening Spell?"
-Next Scene-
Silver held her teacup tighter and cracked her neck, hurting it a little, causing Wyatt to stifle a chuckle, she glared at him, but he only smiled sweetly at her.
Wyatt: "Piper, why are you here?"
Emma: Shook her head at her oldest cousin, he was most of the times the childish one there, "Wy, we had a demon to take care of, and then I got hurt by a demon and now my mom is forcing me to stay put."
Paige: "You know I don't get this kind of attitude from your sister."
Emma: "That's not true!"
Paige: Turned to Henry, who was dealing with their son, "Henry, deal with your daughter!"
Henry: Bounced Peirce on his knee, "Emmy, please, we know you were just doing your job, and we know it was your cousins who made you go into the underworld."
Phoebe: "Yes, because it's always all of my kids that do all the thinking in any of the groups."
Henry: Nodding his head, "It just so happens they know how to over throw all those years of hard work I did with my baby."
Silver: "Uncle Henry, we're the saints."
Piper: Snorted, "Anyone that says they're saints is lying through their ass."
Wyatt: "Mom, I'm eating no foul language."
Leo: "Buddy, you are a four year old, never change."
Wyatt: "I don't plan to."
Silver: "And he's staying single forever!"
Wyatt: "I like Parker more!"
Silver: "And I like Chris better!"
Emma: "Will you two knock it off? You're the same person, sometimes, hell Wy is childish and Sil you can be very childish, Wy over controlling and Sil, you're the same thing."
Silver: "Is that a bad thing? Because I'm sorry your alive because of my over protectiveness!"
Wyatt: "Nice."
Silver laughed.
Emma: "Related to lunatics,"
Hank: Orbed into the room, he rushed over to Emma, checking for any broken bones, when he found none; he started to yell, "Emma, have you lost your fucking mind?" She went to talk but he didn't let her get a word out, "Not even Nix does anything this stupid, you could have been killed. Do you wanna live the rest of your damn life with Grams? Huh? I know she likes you a ton, but do you wanna kill mom? Because if something happened to you you'd be killing her, she'd die and then what would dad do, huh, or me or Nix? Nix looks up to you and Mitch wants to get to know his oldest sister god damn it! We can't let Nix turn him into another holy terror."
Paige: seeing Emma was near tears, "Henry Samuel Mitchell Matthews Halliwell, that is enough."
Hank: Shook his head, "It's not enough mom, she could have died, then instead of eating breakfast we'd be planning funeral arrangements! She needs to know that whenever she enters the Underworld she needs to be a lot more careful. And where the hell is Ryan? Wasn't he watching you trying to protect you?"
Emma: "He was a little busy with his own demons, Henry, and I am careful."
Hank: Sighed, "Look I'm sorry I went off on you like that, Emmy. It's just I love you and I don't want to see or know that you got hurt, it scares me to know I can't protect you from demons, and that I hardly see you, you live so far and I know that sounds like a cop out, I mean I can orb if I wanted to but I just need to know you'll be more careful next time."
Emma: "Of course I will be, Hank, things just got fucked up when Ryan lost control of his bolts, but look things are fine, trust me."
Hank: "You know that just because you live so far away doesn't mean I stop worrying about you or stop loving you or stop being there for you if you need me to come? I'm always here for you, Emmy. Even if it's a demon hunt at two in the morning I will lug my fat ass out of bed and go hunting with you, Nix makes me do it all the time."
Emma: Gave him a huge hug, "I know."
Silver: "Glad that worked out."
Wyatt: Dried his eyes, "So sweet."
Pierce let out a sharp cry and Hank rushed over to his brother. He picked him up and started to making him laugh.
Hank: "Hey, Mitch, what's wrong?"
Paige: "He has a cold, don't worry he'll be okay."
Hank: "A cold? He should be taken to the ER or something."
Henry: "Hank, we took him to his doctor, she said he's going to be fine."
Hank: "That quack doesn't know anything."
Eva: Shook her head, "Henry, tell your oldest to take back what he just said or I will hurt him."
Hank: "I didn't mean anything by it, Aunt Eva, you know how I get over my little Mitch."
Suddenly in teleported the kids.
Nix: "Hank, put my brother down, unless you want to be hurt." She walked over to Pierce and handed him his toy truck, "Here you go, brainy."
Pierce smiled up at his sister.
Emma: "How did you do that?"
Nix: "As the youngest, I know things, besides, my empathy told me that was a 'I want my toy' cry not an 'I'm sick' cry. I know the difference. Because mom let's me babysit from time to time, huh we have fun playing with the prescription bottles at my office, because someone turned them into a rattle."
Lex: "He loved it! We both did, I got to make music and he got a laugh out of it, hell the other day we built a fort!"
Hank: Shook his head at his baby sister and his best freind, "The things you know because of that power."
Nix: "Are you jealous, Hanky?"
Hank: "No."
Nix: "Right."
Aine: "Who's the kid?"
Bella: "Aine, that happens to be Pierce he's a half demon half witch that Aunt Paige and Uncle Henry took in."
Aine: "Should have known that Paige would bring in another child, that woman tried to take me in when I was seven."
Emily: "In Aunt Paige's defense you were living in a car."
Aine: "Yea, it was around the time my mom passed away, I decided to run away and sleep in Frankie and Gio's pickup truck."
Lex: "And how did that turn out for you?"
Aine: "Eli got me a better car and showed me how to drive at the age of eight, seven was too young he said."
Linn: Commenting on her Grandfather's way of dealing with things, "Yup, my family is sane."
Aine: "Hey, let me remind you that Eli got you your first athame at the age of six and you killed a demon a week later!"
Linn: "You just made me sound like a crazy hunter I'll have you know that Eli gave Bianca lessons in being an assassin which is worse!"
Aine: Laughed, "Same thing can be said about you, just because you don't like to let people know how much you're like Eli means nothing to me. It's those that love you that know well what you can be, Linndsey Charlotte Andraz-Hunter."
Linn glared at her Aunt for calling her by her full name.
Hank: Rolled his eyes at his baby sister, "Just because you can feel what he feels and know what he wants doesn't mean anything."
Nix: "He's an Empath too, you know?"
Henry: "How do you know?"
Parker: "Empaths can feel other empaths."
Emma: "What does it feel like?"
Silver: "It's not a good feeling,"
Pacey: "It feels overwhelming."
Lex: He smiled to Nix, "Like you can be one."
Nix: "That's only because I let you feel what you want."
Lex: "Woman."
Ryan: hearted into the room, "Are we all here?"
Pacey: "All here for what?"
Silver: "Well the demons that we tried to handle were a little stronger than we thought they would be."
Parker: "I told you to just wait for us to handle them, but you never listen to me."
Hank: "You knew? Wait a second let remind myself who I'm asking, of course you knew they were chasing after a demon."
Parker: "I wouldn't say demons, more like…"
Riley: Walked into the room holding the book, "More like, Vampires…"
Paige: "Vampires?" She turned to her oldest daughter, nephew and niece, "Are you out of your minds?"
Piper: "Paige?"
Paige: "No! Those damn things almost killed me I will not let my babies…"
Nix: "Me and Pierce where no were near them, Mom."
Paige: Turned to yell at Nix, "Phoebe!"
Emma: "Mom, we're careful."
Paige: "It only takes one scratch!"
Prue: "How about you guys take this into the living room?"
Paige: "Prue, I'm not done…"
Piper: Saw the look in everyone's eyes, "Hey, you heard your Aunt Prue get moving." She turned to her baby sister, "Paige."
Paige: "Piper, if they we're facing Furies you'd be on their asses! Prue you almost shit your pants when they faced Shax."
Prue: "He killed me." She turned to face the kids, "Almost, he almost killed me."
Nix: "Mom, we'll be careful."
Paige: Shook her head, "Just go before I come to my senses."
The kids walked to the living room. The parents watched them go.
Piper: "I know that was hard."
Paige: "I know you may think I'm over reacting, but those Vampires almost got us, I literally wanted to drink your and Phoebe's blood, there was nothing that could stop me,"
Phoebe: "Guess it's just another thing we have to thank Cole for?"
Paige: "I never liked him."
Prue: "Welcome to the club."
Paige: "But he did give us a pretty awesome nephew."
Piper: "Yup."
-Next Scene-
Robin tapped her fingers on her throne, she was dealing with another bunch of troubles, one thing no one had ever told her was how much work this job really was, no one had told her that she'd have to deal with demon's misgivings and thanks to her family they had a lot of misgivings. Roderick saw the impatience in her eyes.
Roderick: "Enough, the Source will hear the rest tomorrow." The demons nodded and shimmered out. He walked over to her and sent her a charming smile, "Hey, how's everything?"
Robin: Pretended to feel more than hate for him, "I'm just worried."
Roderick: "I know my father has not been seen but I doubt…"
Robin: "That he'd do anything to further King Ryan's rule? Oh no, nope he wouldn't dare do such a thing." She stood up and sighed, "I'm sorry I need some air and space."
Roderick: "You okay? I mean there's nothing else right?"
Robin: "What happened to you? Before, you were cold, and rude and didn't give a damn what was going on in my mind, hell you called me names kicked me when I was down. You treated me like shit, you looked up to Mel and me."
Roderick: "I died, and I had a lot of time on my hands to think about what I missed out on, and I just don't want to miss anything else. It's not just humans that have the right to love and I know you might think I'm doing this for power, but I care for you. You have to know that, everything I've ever done was for you I gave you glares and talked down to you, only to pump you up only to make you stronger and look at you now!"
Robin: Stood closer to him, her old feelings taking over her, "Why couldn't you see…" She shut up and placed a kiss on his lips.
Roderick: Smiled, "I love you."
Robin's voice caught in her throat.
Voice: "For shame." They turned to see the Seer standing there, next to him was someone draped in dark robes. "Go do what you must." The being nodded and threw a potion on the floor white smoke teleported him somewhere. "I come back and see my own son making out with the enemy,"
Robin: "I don't have to deal with this crap again." She turned to Roderick "Deal with this, before I do."
She orbed out.
Roderick: Glared back at his father, "What the hell are you doing here and who the hell was that?"
Seer: "You'll see."
Roderick sighed he did not like the sound of that.
-Next Scene-
The Hunter residence was quiet too quiet for Lyn's liking. She walked into her kitchen and shook her head at what she found, her oldest child was tapping her hand on the kitchen table while her husband was fiddling with poker chips in his right hand and holding cards in the other. Her youngest was frowning next to him was Jay shaking his head at their hand. Reese was next to Gabby patting his cards on the table, trying to look calm and cool.
Lyn: "Team Poker again, Frank?"
Frank: "Not my idea it was the boys'."
Frankie: "I was under the impression I'd get to choose my partner."
Jay: "Hey, you suck at poker too you know."
Reese: "Shame,"
Gabby: "Like you're any better."
Reese: Smiled a flirty smile at her, "Oh, I know how to play."
Frankie: "Gag."
Gabby: "And that's why you're single!"
Frankie: "Bite me."
Voice: "Franco and Jonathan don't know how to play poker I'm ashamed for their parents, because last time I checked, Lyndsey knows how to play, so much she's stolen my lunch money from me too many times to count. And Billie taught me Ricky and Julie how to count cards." Seeing his sister's look, "Not that I would ever because that's cheating and cheating is wrong."
Reese: Under his breath, "Not when you don't get caught."
Gabby: Chuckled, "I knew it."
Reese: "Shh!"
Lyn: Shook her head at her little, brother, Federico Thomas Andraz smiled at his older sister. "Tommy, what the hell are you doing here?"
Tommy: "Can't a man come visit his favorite older sister's place?"
Frankie: "Sure, but you're not at Aunt Bianca's, you're here at my mom's place."
Jay: Saw the look his Aunt Lyn was sending his best friend, "Here let me, Aunt Lyn." He slapped Frankie hard on the back of the head, "Shut up and fold."
Frankie: "Ow, and never!"
Lyn: "Thank you, JJ."
Bianca: Shook her head at her little brother, he knew full well not to bring their Aunt Bianca into a conversation with their mother around, they were fighting over who was right about a certain type of kill, figures only an Andraz would fight about a type of kill and who was right or not. A Hunter would most likely fight over who had the right to in fact do the kill, no one said her family was sane, "Tommy, what the hell are you doing here?"
Tommy: "You know I'm your uncle I should get an uncle."
Frankie: "Dude, you're younger than Nix where does that seem as if we'd call you Uncle?"
Tommy: "Lyn, I don't like your children they don't call me Uncle Tommy."
Gabby: "That's an insult to our age. Tommy, I happen to be more mature than you and Frankie put together."
Tommy: "No, Gabby, you have me confused with a certain younger Hunter I know and love."
Frank: Rolled his eyes, "Why did you have to bring my baby brother into this conversation, Federico?"
Tommy: "Speaking of Ricky, he owes me money, Franco."
Frank: "Yea, well, Brendan Carrick Hunter does seem to have a lot of debts, hell, Federico, he owes me money too, and I don't think I'm ever getting paid back. He does take after Gio and Eli." None of Eli Hunter's kids called him dad, he was just Eli to them.
Tommy: "You may not think you're getting paid back, but if I have to use my deadly skills to get paid I will."
Lyn: "You are not hunting down my younger brother-in-law."
Tommy: "He's my brother-in-law too you know." He shook his head, "I have no idea what you Andraz women see in the Hunter brothers." His second oldest sister was married to Frank's oldest younger brother, so he was not only related to Frank by Lyn's marriage but as well as older Bianca's and Giovanni's marriage.
Frank: "I know you were looking at my sister so don't pretend."
Tommy: Rolled his eyes, "I would never date Aine, she is one scary ass bitch!"
Frankie: "That's true."
Lyn: "Okay, Tommy, what really brings you here?'
Tommy: "Vampires."
Bianca: "Yup, only my family, would go around fighting Vamps." Suddenly in shimmered Linn and Chris, both holding hands and grinning from ear to ear. "By god I do have a sister."
Linn: "I love you too, B." She turned to see her Uncle Tommy standing there, "Well I think it's a Hunter/Andraz family reunion."
Tommy: "Why you say that, Lime-A-Bean?'
Linn: Rolled her eyes at him and the nickname he gave her when he was ten, "Because I know a certain Aunt Hunter who just showed up asking for help, and I'm guessing you're doing the same thing, so here's a question of the hour."
Chris: Shook his head knowing his girlfriend was about to say, "Dear lord, Linn, you have lost your mind."
Linn: "No, but it has to be said, how much is Eli paying to kill the Vamps?"
Tommy: "I am insulted!"
Lyn: Grabbed her baby brother by his ear, "Tommy!"
Tommy: "Okay, okay, Eli is paying six grand for the Queen."
Lyn: "Tommy, you told mom you were not living that kind of life anymore!"
Tommy: "I'm not, I'm just merely thinking about getting paid for killing a crazy person."
Chris: "Do you think the Valentín older siblings and Emma know about the phoenix bounty on the Vamps?"
Linn: "No, those three wouldn't take a job like that. Parker might, but I'm sure she would be stopped from taking a job like that by your cousins."
Bianca: "Have you ever thought about talking to the Source? I mean she handles the demons and she can tell you where they'll be and then we can take them out and then Grandpa can pay us." Lyn shot her daughter a look, "What?"
Tommy: "Source?"
Frank: Stood up and handed his brother-in-law a beer, "Complicated."
Tommy: "My kinda woman."
Lyn: "Bianca Anastasia Andraz-Hunter!" Bianca rolled her eyes, "What have I told you about trying to become a gun for hire?"
Bianca: "Never do it for less than seven grand."
Frank bit back a chuckle. Lyn shot him a glare.
Lyn: "No, if you take a job make sure you have enough help, and you know better than to go up against a band of Halliwells who are on a mission!"
Bianca: "That's why we're all going to get six grand off Gramps."
Linn: "And they say Bianca is the angel!"
-Next Scene-
Robin orbed into her family's kitchen and sighed as she found her mom trying to soothe her Aunt Paige's fear. She needed advice right now.
Phoebe: turned to her youngest niece and found that she was going through a different amount of emotions, "Robin, is everything okay?"
Robin: "Is everything okay? Well, uh, let's see, I was stuck in a six hour meeting with demons who were complaining, about not just Halliwell's killing them, but also about roads, and caves falling down on other demons and food, and magical supplies. And oh yea, someone tried to fight me for my power, and I killed them with a blink of a eye, then I had to put up with feeling guilty, and then to make matters worse, Roderick decided to go and gain a fucking heart and start telling me he loves me! So no, nothing is okay, and I need a break from the underworld. And I miss Miles."
Piper: "I told you to just throw in the towel."
Robin: "If I could I would, and I also think they're trying to poison my food. So I haven't eaten for a while and I can't sleep because let's just say, for some reason Roderick forgets he has his own room!"
Leo: "I could kill him for you?"
Piper: "Are you hungry? I could make you something."
Robin: "No, it's okay I ate a snack at the gas station when I found time to get a break from Roderick and his neediness, and no you're an Elder it'd go against a code or something." She cracked her neck and unhooked her robe took it off to reveal a black tank top and jeans. "So do you wanna tell me why I got this?" She showed them a letter.
Piper: "Mel's sending you mail now?"
Robin: "Not Mel, she shows up, no, Riley, he sent me…"
She stopped as Linn, Bianca, Chris, Tommy, Lyn, and Frank teleported into the room.
Tommy: Smiled his charming smile at Robin, "Well, hello."
Bianca: "Tom, one she's taken, two she's the Source of all evil."
Tommy: Shocked filled his face, "You're the Source of all evil?"
Robin: Sighed, "That's what they tell me, but for some reason it feels like I'm a fucking mother, do I look like I'm old enough to be a fucking mother?"
Piper: "Don't mind her she's dealing with Roderick problems."
Tommy: "Your boyfriend I presume?"
Robin: "Can I kill him?"
Chris: "No, some reason people like him, have you met Aine?"
Robin: "Chris, I just got here and all I want to do is talk to Riley about something and then take a long ass nap with my bulldog."
Linn: "That's her boyfriend."
Tommy: "The dog?"
Lyn: "Complicated."
Tommy: He walked over to Robin and winked at her, "Well when you're ready to deal with humans,"
Robin: "You'll point me to someone."
She walked away.
Tommy: Walking after her, "That's a little rude!"
Chris: "Come on, I'm sure we're going to have more fun in the living room."
They walked out.
Paige: "Lyn, why is your brother here?"
Prue: "And, Frank, why is Aine here?"
Lyn: Took a seat, "My father-in-law,"
Henry: "What does that mean?"
Frank: "Eli put a hit out on the Vamp's Queen."
Andy: "Only your father would do that."
Lyn: "And only my brother would try to recruit my children."
Frank: "Don't worry, any second my baby brother will be doing the same thing and trust me Aine is doing that too."
Aine: Walked into the room and slapped him on the back of the head, "Frankie, I dislike you greatly."
Frank: "Nice to see you too, Fionnoula."
Aine: "Frankie, call me by my first name again and I will make Eli put a hit out on you."
Frank: "My wife wouldn't take that job." Lyn shook her head, "Right babe?"
Lyn: "Right, Frank. Aine, tell me you weren't trying to recruit my children for a mission your father gave you?"
Aine: "I was not, but I heard on the grape-vine that Halliwells had inside man working for them, turns out it was the Source, and that the Source of all evil is a Halliwell. And a woman. Did not see that coming."
Piper: "She may be a woman, but trust me, she is a lot more bite than bark."
Aine: "Yea, someone should tell Tommy not to mess with anyone related to Wyatt."
Coop: "If he didn't learn when he asked Silver on a date."
Aine: "Yea but Silver is Silver, Robin screams Wyatt's sibling and Leo's child. Am I right or am I right?"
Leo: "You are right, Robin is Mel's twin."
Aine: "Yea, I noticed that too, she walks like Mel and Mel did tell me she had a sister."
Frankie: "So, Aine, where's Ricky?"
Aine: "For your information, Frankie, I don't know…" Suddenly in shimmered a man who had short blonde hair and deep green eyes, he looked a lot like both Frank and Aine, he was a tad bit shorter than Hank but he was built like Chris. "Ricky, what the hell are you doing here?"
Ricky: Lying, "Uhm… I could ask you the same…" He looked next to her and saw Frank, "Hey Frankie, what are you doing here with Lyn?"
Lyn: "Bianca and Linn are both part of the thing that binds our families together."
Ricky: "You mean marriage? When did Linn get married to Chris?" Everyone had known that those two would end up together someday.
Aine: "No you idiot, the thirteen, don't you read Eli's newsletter?"
Ricky: "No."
Frank: "But you're here about the Vamps?"
Ricky: Looked genially confused, "Vamps? Who the hell is messing with the Vamps…"
Aine: "Eli put a hit out on their Queen."
Ricky: "He would go and do a thing like that, no I'm here because of the Source of all Evil, she is pretty fucking mean and rude and don't tell anyone this, but she has those demon's eating out of the palm of her hand, anyway, this Seer is trying to get a hit out on her."
Piper: "Oh great."
Ricky: "No, this is a good thing, Aunt Piper, if she dies we won't have to deal with the demons because they won't have a boss to lead them, making them feud for power."
Paige: "Ricky, the Source of all evil is a Halliwell, Robin Halliwell, Wyatt's baby sister."
Ricky: "But Wyatt's baby sister is Mel."
Piper: "It's a long story, but Mel was a twin."
Aine: "Look I'll explain everything, just come with me so you can meet her and help us with a kill."
Ricky: "How much?"
Aine: "Six grand."
Ricky: "That's only three grand each, and half of the work is going to be hell."
Lyn: "Actually, it's less because your niece will want to get paid too and that means you have to pay the other kids too, because you know Parker will want to be compensated for killing demons that she doesn't have a need to kill."
Phoebe: "Maybe not, Parker and her little friends like to kill demons for free."
Ricky: "No one ever confused Bianca with a Saint."
Frank: Shook his head at his younger siblings as they left the kitchen, "Why do they think it's B who's the problem?"
Lyn: "Because, Frankie, she's just like you."
Frank: Smiled, "Then that's a good thing."
-Next Scene-
The kids were sitting around the living room. Emily was next to Hank, while Emma was smiling and laughing at the way her boyfriend looked. Nix was on Lex's lap, while Parker was staring at them all. Pacey and Bella were on the other side of Nix and Lex, Bianca was stuck next to Wyatt who was trying to think of ways to speak to her. Damian was eating a piece of toast that he had taken from Wyatt's plate. While Hazel was sitting next to Riley who was staring at the book with a look of pain.
Robin: Walked into the room and marched up to Riley, "Hey, you." He looked up at her and shut the book, causing her to raise her eyebrow. "I got your letter."
Riley: nodded his head, "And the answer?"
Robin: "I don't know. But if you find a way, I'd take it."
Riley: "Thanks."
Robin: "Just my opinion, Riley, but one shouldn't have to go through hell for their parents' mistakes or because of their DNA."
Mel: "Robbie, I didn't know you were going to come home."
Robin: "I needed to get away."
Bianca: "Good thing you did though we need your Source help."
Ricky: As he walked into the room with Aine, "May I say, you were not who I was expecting to see."
Tommy: "You!"
Ricky: "Hello, Freddy!"
Tommy: "It's Tommy, I'm Tommy, not Freddy that is the name of some fat kid, do I look like Pacey?"
Bella laughed at her boyfriend's face.
Pacey: "You wish, because I look good!"
Parker: "Guys, let's not fight each other over money, Tommy you stole his girlfriend in the seventh grade."
Ricky: "Yea, it hurt man."
Parker: "Ricky, you told every girl in Tommy's class that he happened to like the Barbie song."
Tommy: "So that's why no one took me serious when I asked them to prom!"
Ricky: "You had it coming, bro, you looked at my sister."
Aine: "Brendan Carrick Hunter, I would never date Tommy, he's like my little brother and Tommy was not looking at me, he was playing that stare game with me."
Linn: "I never knew how Irish we were until she called Ricky that!"
Lex: "Better to be Irish than Italian, you can drink more. Hell being Greek doesn't give me an edge over anyone."
Hazel: "Just makes you hairy." Her brother shot her, a look, "What? I've seen your back hair, at least shave!"
Nix: Shook her head at Hazel's remark, leave it to them to start making fun of their own heritage, and Lex did shave, she made damn she about that, "Lex, let me remind you she is both Irish and Italian because Uncle Frank is Irish and Aunt Lyn is Italian, and Parker will kick your ass if you bad mouth her heritage of getting shit faced."
Parker: "Yea us Italianos can drink, just because we like wine means nothing."
Riley: "You're a wine drinker?"
Parker: "Not me, Ry and Silver that's all they drink, wine is bad for my liver."
Silver: "Everything you drink is bad for your liver."
Parker stopped herself from commenting.
Ricky: "Oh, well why was there hand action?"
Tommy: "Dude, she's Aine, I've seen her naked and it did nothing to T-Man."
Linn: "Did my Uncle just call his…"
Chris: Nodded his head, "I think so."
Wyatt: "And they say our family is nuts."
Bianca: "Your family is nuts my family is just disgusting."
Pacey: "Anyway, let's move on, even though I love hearing about drunks and body part nicknames. Why don't we get to what this is all about?"
Ryan: "We were hunting down the Vampires over in the NYC, because they were killing a lot of humans."
Emma: "But when we attacked the faction in the Underworld we were hit by demons."
Aine: "I think that's why Eli's bounty has yet to be taken, the demons are helping them and making it harder for anyone to kill the Queen."
Robin: "Why does she have to be killed?" Seeing the looks they sent her, "What I have to speak on her behalf!"
Mel: "Rough day with Roderick?"
Robin: "Please if you value my sanity you will not mention that name!"
Mel: "Talk to me, Robbie."
Robin: "He said I love you."
The others looked away.
Mel: "Well,"
Robin: "Speechless, yup, that was me too!"
Parker: "Okay one thing at a time."
Ryan: "Vamps because their hurting people."
Wyatt: "We can split into groups us older kids deal with Vamps, younger kids can deal with other stuff."
Parker: "What other stuff?"
Riley stopped listening to them knowing they were about to get into another argument. He kept staring at the book, the words calling out to him.
Hazel: Read the page, "You want to try it?" He looked up to her, busted, "I can see it in your eyes."
Riley: "Maybe I was meant to get rid of it, wipe it out."
Hazel: "Magic isn't going to change who you are."
Riley: "What, not who, Hazel, what I am, is a monster, you couldn't possible understand what it feels like to be ripped apart by magic." He turned to Robin. She did, which is why he had sent her a letter asking her if she knew of some way to get rid of Belthazor Jr.
Riley: "I'm going to try it."
He stood up taking the book with him.
-Next Scene-
Paige: Was pacing which in itself was odd because Paige Halliwell never paced that was more her two oldest sisters' jobs. "Those kids need to be careful."
Piper: "Paige, sit down, you're making me dizzy."
Phoebe: "I would say pay back for all the years you made me dizzy but I'm getting dizzy watching her."
Henry: "Paige, honey, sit, okay I know you're worried, I am too."
Paige: "You are not!"
Henry: "Okay maybe I'm not, I have faith in our kids."
Paige: "And I don't?"
Henry: "I didn't mean it like that."
Paige: "I have faith in them too, but having faith and knowing what those Vampires are like is two different things!"
Prue: "Paige, we aren't going to let them turn into Vampires."
Eva: "Okay, I know how this is going to sound."
Lyn: Not Knowing and wanting to know too, "Why are you so amped up about Vampires? The kids faced Roderick and Robin, being sent to a past, deaths, love and loss, but Vampires and you freak out?"
Paige: "You don't know what it was like…" She looked away, "There was power in it, but it so much more than the power that ran through your veins it was peaceful, and freeing and binding all at once. I flew with them, hunted with them, saw them hunt and wished to hunt myself. Nothing mattered but drinking blood, nothing mattered but drinking Piper and Phoebe's blood it was as if it was bigger than me."
Andy: "It was bigger than you, you were in a coven of vampires, Paige."
Paige: "It's not that simple, I mean I've been turned into magical creatures before, but being a Vampire, it's different. You feel free, like there are no rules, like personal gain doesn't matter, the Elder don't matter, and family, doesn't matter. Because you are one, you are synced into a pack, a coven."
Piper: Now understanding why she was worried, "Parker and Wyatt won't let anything happen to Nix, Paige."
Paige: "She's so much like me,"
Henry: "Yes, she even has someone to keep her grounded, like I do you, and you do me." He walked over to his wife, "Nix is smart and talented, they can try all they want she's not turning into a Vampire, hell if she didn't turn into a darklighter when she was younger, now ain't going to change."
Paige: "Hank was right, I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to one of them. It's not like I can go kill the Source, she's family, if you can't blame the head of evil or the elders, who do you blame for their death?"
Henry: "Paige, we won't have to answer that question."
Paige: "You don't know that, Bianca and Wyatt did, Flynn and Lorie did as well, they could all die today."
Piper: "Then it's a good thing that they know better." Paige turned to Piper, "They know because we've drilled it into their heads. If they even think of dying we'll kill them ourselves. Besides do you honestly think I would let anyone of them put their lives on the line if I thought for a second they were going to get hurt?"
Paige: "You can't control their actions we all know that by now."
Piper: "Nonsense, I am their mother and their hard ass of an Aunt! They know better than to even think of dying or getting hurt. Watch." She stood up, "Chris!" Her son walked into the room shaking his head because of the fight that Parker and Wyatt were having, leave it to his brother to be over controlling with the wrong cousin. "Good, I have a question for you and then you can go."
Chris: "Okay." He could sense this was going to be good. "Shoot."
Piper: "What would happen if you were to get hurt?"
Chris: "Well, the annoying teddy bear would yell after he heals me, and then I'd get kicked in the ass by my girlfriend and of course you'd ground me even though I don't live at home anymore."
Piper: "And if you were to die?"
Chris: "That's not an option, I can get taken hostage or turned into something, but I cannot what so ever die."
Piper: "Why?"
Chris: "Because you've threatened to bring me back kick my ass, and lecture me with one of Grams' speeches, and then kick my ass some more, and to still manage to ground me."
Piper: "Thank you."
Chris: He turned to his Aunt Paige, "Don't worry, Aunt Paige, I promise Hank knows not to let Emmy or Nix get hurt, even if that means putting himself in harm's way, in which case Wyatt will put his life on the line then Bianca will put hers and then Linn and then I will and then all of them will, look, we know better than to get killed by Vampires! Or anyone for that matter, so be still we got this."
Paige shook her head was about to comment that he was too cocky, just like her, but then there was a loud scream.
Phoebe: "What the hell was that?"
-Next Scene-
The cousins walked into the attic because they had heard the loud scream. What they found wasn't exactly what they thought they would. Belthazor Jr was on his knees looking down at his hands, there was genuine fear in his eyes.
Parker: "What's wrong?"
Riley: "I can't turn it off."
Hazel: "Riley, is that you?"
Riley: "Yes, Hazy, it's me, I have no idea why I look like Belthazor Jr, but I do, and he's not here."
Mel: "Let me see that," She read the spell and sighed, "It's because it took Belthazor Jr out of you,"
Riley: "No it didn't, I'm Belthazor Jr."
Mel: "Exactly you are one hundred percent Belthazor Jr and not just half like you used to be."
Riley: "My burden was that I was half human?"
Mel: "Magic is magic, Riley, the book just got rid of your evil counterpart but it kept your magic."
Hazel: "Are you saying this is how he is supposed to look?"
Mel: "That's what the book thinks."
Robin: "Your true colors huh?"
Mel: "Not exactly, just what his powers show. We all know Riley's like a cupid."
Hank: "Right now he doesn't look like one. No offence, Spitfire."
Riley: "A little taken, Tank, just a little!"
Hank smiled.
Wyatt: Reached for the book, having seen the small print. "Dimitte me ut pondus Fusce eu nulla sit consequentia." He turned to Riley, "Say that."
Chris: "Wait what is that?"
Wyatt: "Under the fine print, I think its Latin."
They all turned to Parker because she had studied different languages.
Parker: "Latin okay, let me think, okay Dimitte me ut pondus means let me go that the weight might." She looked on confused, "Fusce eu nulla sit consequentia… no consequence I think."
Riley: "Okay, Dimitte me ut pondus Fusce eu nulla…"
Parker: "No wait, no matter the consequence, that can't be good."
Riley: "Sit consequentia."
Parker: Went to stop him but it was too late, Riley disappeared, "Son of a bitch!"
Hazel: "What the hell just happened?"
Parker: "The complete translation is release me of my burden for I might learn how to control it no matter the consequences. I'm guessing this might…"
Suddenly a puff of smoke appeared and a man who was identical to Riley with only the differences of his longer black hair dark blue eyes and bushy beard. His eyes were wide and he walked away from them, in fear.
Hank: "Riley?"
Man: "Be gone you monster!"
Phoebe: And the other sisters, "Guys, did you find the demon yet?" She turned to see her youngest son's new look, "Riley, what did you do to yourself?"
Man: "Mother, how can this be? You're dead."
Robin: "Man, I need to take vacations from Roderick more often."
-Next Scene-
Elsewhere…
Riley opened his eyes, though it hurt like hell. His chest hurt too, and his neck had seen better days. Though his eyes were pretty bad because he only saw blurs, he let out a cough went to cover his mouth when he noticed he was tied.
Riley: "What the… Ow." His jaw hurt pretty bad.
Hank: "Good you're up."
Riley: Blinked and now he could see better, a lot better, but what he found, was not something he liked, in front of him was Hank, though he was different, his hair was wild and his eyes were drenched in pain, his mouth was covered by a bread and his hands were bloody, "Tank?"
Hank: "Ridiculous."
A Voice: "We should just end this now, HE will send someone for him, Hank,"
Hank: Nodded his head, and grabbed the athame, he traced Riley's collarbone, "Not yet, B, he needs to feel this."
Riley let out a scream when Hank stabbed into his bone.
Bianca: "Henry, enough! Just kill him, we can't stay here much longer."
Riley: "Why?"
Hank: "WHY? Because your father murdered my mother, because I lost my father to alcohol, because you killed your mom, because you destroyed my family!"
Damian: Grabbed the athame before he could stab Riley again, "Hank, come on, man, you know better, you promised not to do this."
Hank: "It's just six of us left, six Halliwells, and I promised my wife I'd make it only two. This will bring pain to Cole."
Damian: "Don't say his name!"
Bianca: "We've all lost people Hank,"
Hank: "Time to even the score!"
Bianca: "Be sane about this, keeping him alive helps our cause!"
Hank: "But death cries for his name."
Riley: through pain, "What's happening what's going on, because last time I checked, everything was fine, but then I said a spell."
Hank: "Your father killed my family! So you and your brother will pay in blood!"
Suddenly a darklighter arrow passed by his face.
Ryan: "Hank, step away from my brother, before I hurt you anymore."
Hank: "How about you say that without the crossbow, you gimp?"
Ryan: "FUCK YOU!"
Bianca was quick she grabbed Hank's arm and Damian's and shimmered them out.
Ryan: tossed the crossbow to the ground and ran over to Riley, "You okay, little brother? Why the hell did he cut your hair?"
Riley: "Ryan, you like me? Okay, where the hell am I?"
Ryan: "You're at the manor, remember, Dad's prison for the witches. Wyatt's idea, not that Chris liked it, but hey he wanted to make the prison be the park." He untied the ropes, "He's going to be happy to see you."
Riley: "Who?"
Ryan: "Dad." He helped Riley up and Riley screamed, his knee was badly broken. "Shit stupid ass fucking Henry, don't worry okay I'll get someone to set it you'll be fine."
Riley: "Where are we going?"
Ryan: "Home." And then he did something that scared the shit out of Riley shimmer. "Sorry, I'd get you to a fixer but dad wanted to see you first."
He helped get Riley into a cave wall. Demons around them all bowed heads all the way to the ground, as if they mattered to them, as if they'd kill them if they looked at them. They walked into a cave that was royally lit; gold everywhere and half naked women were fanning a man who had black hair and deep blue eyes. Again Riley's heart almost stopped when he noticed whom the man was.
Cole: Stood up from his throne, "Sons, it's good to have you home. I hope your cousins weren't much trouble?"
Ryan: "No, father, they didn't put up much of a fight."
Riley looked around them, and saw that there were demons around them, that they were in the Source room. What freaked him out though was that Wyatt or at least a man who looked like Wyatt was standing next to someone that looked like Chris. Both were draped in black and the only emotions in their eyes and hearts were hate.
Cole: "And your mother's ghost."
Ryan: An evil smile on his face, "Parker's potion worked father, the Aunts and Uncles are all dead, no longer can the Halliwells speak to the dead."
Riley turned around when he heard a small cry, what he saw made his stomach hurl. There chained to a wall was, Parker, she looked so weak, next to her was his mother, but he knew she was dead.
Riley: "No, god where have I gone."
Cole: Not having heard him, "It's good to have you home, son."
To be continued…
Dimitte me ut pondus Fusce eu nulla sit consequentia Means Release me of my burden for I might learn how to control it no matter the consequences.
Sorry for the wait! But finals are taking over my life right now, so I tried to get this up fast! Please review!
